Answer:

b. a garbage patch formed of clusters of plastic debris

Explanation:

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is the largest heap of floating garbage in the world and also the best known. It is located between Hawaii and California and is often described as being "larger than Texas", even though it does not have a single square meter of surface to set foot on.

What is found on this island is not just a large chain of PET bottles floating, but a gigantic area full of floating pieces. It is not visible by satellites and sometimes even by boats. It is estimated that 94% of this waste is composed of microplastic. (pieces smaller than 5 mm).

That's because plastic, in nature, over time, tends to fragment. That is where the danger lies, because the microplastic becomes nanoplastic (less than 0.001 mm) and ends up ingested by plankton. Since these creatures are the basis of the oceanic food chain, plastic ends up in the stomach of countless creatures.

What strategies do cells use to ensure that newly replicated DNA does not contain errors? DNA polymerase replaces the newly repl
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Enzymes proofread the DNA after the DNA has been replicated and replace any mismatched nucleotides.

Explanation:

DNA replication occurs to make exact copy of original DNA. Transcription of genetic information to an intermediate mRNA occur after replication after which we have translation of genetic information into amino acids.

In the process of replicating DNA error can occur and then enzymes proofread the work for errors. Enymes DNA polymerase proofs read the replication,removes and replace the nucleotide base from where error occurs. It proof read after the DNA replication has occured.

This enzyme is also involve in DNA replication.

Keystone species are those that are a necessary component to the stability of the ecosystem, and without them, many
netineya [11]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option C. alligators; their tails dig holes that hold water during times of drought, and  this water is used as a source for drinking water by many species.

Explanation:

Beavers are keystone species as they help other species to get habitat and also help plants to grow by the holes or dams they make. Kudzu is a keystone species of an ornamental plant which lowers the soil erosion in their abundance.

Red cocaded woodpecker is a keystone species as they create pits in the pine trees that are helpful for other species to live.

Alligators also keystone species but not for digging holes and hold water but the influencing the prey and maintaining the animals in the ecosystem.

Mary is conducting an experiment on how pollution affects plant growth. How can she ensure that her data are reliable? by repeat
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

a) By repeating trials during an experiment

Explanation:

In science, repetition during experimentation is extremely important and fundamental. By repeting experiments, the researcher ensures that results are reliable and not due to a single factor or coincidence. If the same result is observed after several repetitions, then it could indicate that x factor is responsible for x result.

After this observation, the researcher will be able to analyze data statistically and discuss it in order for other scientists to repeat this methodology and explain a specific phenomenon accurately and thoroughly.
